]]>Fun by day and by night during one of the best boogies of the year — Summerfest at Skydive Chicago. If you missed it this year, shame on you. Now you have to live vicariously through this Summerfest skydiving video. Just make sure to join in on the fun next summer. Until then, check out our home-baked edit from last year’s 138-way vertical world record at Skydive Chicago. It was epic!

]]>What would Simon Bones say if he got his parachute wrapped up in a freefly tube? If you guessed, “wooooo………… wooooo!”, you win a prize (the prize being a clean cutaway, of course). Thanks for sharing, Bones. Not quite sure what the lesson is here, but he sure was relaxed about the situation. For the record, I promised Bones a shoulder rub and handy in exchange for this footage, so I’m taking one for the team purely for your viewing pleasure — the least you can do is share this video, dammit.

The best thing is, most of the jumpers in this video have less than 650 jumps. Winning.

Cool double-tube jump, killer clouds all around (ahem, “industrial haze”), fun docks, different angles, and bottom line — tubes just look cool in freefall and even cooler with people flying all around them. When and where was your last tube jump?

Then, his altimeter gets trapped in his risers on deployment. And finally, he steers one-handed and lands super hard in a ditch. In a situation like this, let go of the damn tube — it’s not worth your life! Live and learn people, live and learn.
